Trypophobia is an intense fear of holes in the skin that usually instigates a response of overwhelming uneasiness and an all over itchy feeling on the body. Trypophobia can usually be triggered by the following things: lotus seed pods, bot fly larvae, pumice stones, crumpets, tooth decay in the form of cavities in the teeth. Ampullae of Lorenzini in sharks, termite mounts, holes in concrete, acne scars, aero bars, bone marrow, nests of wasps, a bees honeycomb, bubbles in rising dough, ant holes, veins in meat, and anything with a cluster of holes.
